Hey there! Welcome to my mind space.
I must warn you, now you are inside my mind, fasten your seat belts, brace yourself for some turbulent headwinds, whirlwinds, and a hurricane of crazy thoughts. They don't call me an over-thinker for nothing. I love to weave tales and create an imaginary world that almost begins to feel like reality.
Besides riding on this wave of turbulence and imagination, I also indulge in the real world, by venturing outdoors with my husband and daughter in the Bay area, to hikes, concerts, movies, tennis courts, and beaches. Running and triathlons also keep me grounded.
